Well since we got him as a puppy, it was easy bc he was raised around them. I taught him that the chickens are mine, not his... I did luck out though because he’s just easy going by nature. He does have a huge prey drive and is excellent at catching mice/squirrels; I’m not sure how he differentiates between chickens and prey. But I think the key is normalizing it as a puppy.one thing you could try is holding one of your chickens and petting the dog at the same time - almost like reinforcing that we’re all from the same pack.He is gorgeous!! Those eyes sound beautiful, I'd love to see a pic! That's great that you trained him, I think that's a plus of starting from a puppy too. What kinds of things did you do?
Our dogs can be around the chickens ONLY IF we are present to closely watch. Shadow is a lot better at ignoring the chickens than Stella but we still have to be on our toes.
Gorgeous, he looks like a husky / wolf mixI don’t know if this baby is a Husky but he’s close enough!

Yeah, idk, I’ve just never been into changing avatars, making signatures, or any of that haha.@FloorCandy i love your username
do you know how to make an avatar?
Aww that’s cuteYeah, idk, I’ve just never been into changing avatars, making signatures, or any of that haha.
my username is thanks to my pug, she’s pushing 14 now, but in her prime she was constantly eating anything she could find, so it was always no Raisin, no floor candy, drop it!
Wow, she sounds huge! But what a pretty mix, I bet.
I wonder if Shadow is a mix with malamute. He is 70lb, 10lb over and slightly taller than a typical male husky.
Oh. My. Goodness. He has the sweetest face!! So beautiful, definitely looks mixed. I can see why you'd wanna have him omgoodness. He almost looks like he has wolf in him.I don’t know if this baby is a Husky but he’s close enough!

I have tried holding the chickens and petting them by the dogs. I didn't know if it actually worked but that was my thought, maybe they'd see them as part of the pack. I keep hope with time and dedication they'll improve.

That is a cute name, very creative! I got mine from a roller derby name generator and I don't even play roller derby.Yeah, idk, I’ve just never been into changing avatars, making signatures, or any of that haha.

A few people have said he kind of looks like a malamute. He does gave a heftier body, and his fur is much thicker and fluffier. One of these days, when we can afford $100 on dog DNA test , we shall find out! HahaMine was just a big fluffy thing, pretty much looked 50% husky 50% Akita.
I wouldn't be surprised if you boy had some Malamute in him, he has a bit of that look and is pretty hefty too.
